It appears a hospital in Teheran has now been hit.

Iโ€™m not the first one to point out that 1- Israel has a Palestinian Mandela, Marwan Barghouti who polls very favourably among Palestinians, in prison

2- Israel is an Apartheid state and figures like Desmond Tutu regularly compared Israel to Apartheid South Africa

This is rhetorical, right?

Russia wins oil revenue but loses Shahid drones. That's not a trade they would make willingly but not much they can do about it. US and Saudi production will go way up, the price will drop again, but it will be a nice short run for Trump's best friends

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: โ€œSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.โ€œ

I think the world is learning that Iran has been pulling its punches for years when it comes to drone and missile strikes (I've written about this a lot), but it's also nowhere near as capable as the fear mongers have warned (I've written about that a lot too)

Insane footage shows the moment of the Iranian impact in Jerusalem a short while ago.

Iranian drone or missile strikes have hit US military facilities at Erbil International Airport in Iraq, with secondary detonations heard and visible. #Iran

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.

Hennepin County Sheriffโ€™s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.

This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

A fact sheet from CENTCOM on Operation Epic Fury listing the types ofw eapons used, targets in Iran, over 1,000 targets struck, etc. Does not list the US casualties so far.

CENTCOM just dropped this fact sheet on the first 24 hours regarding Operation Epic Fury/strikes on Iran. Among other things, it lists the various weapons systems used and adds: "...and special capabilities we can't list here!"

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Trump on Iran: We expect casualties with something like this. We have three, but we expect casualties, but in the end itโ€™s going to be a great deal for the world.

There are many outcomes that are good. Number one is decapitating them, getting rid of their whole group of killers and thugs.

THEY GOT AHMADINEJAD!

The supervillains have killed two supervillains. I do not endorse this action, I do not think it will bring stability in the short, medium, or long term, but I certainly do not mourn the deaths of these monster

Paul Conroyโ€™s Last Photo Essay: Cubaโ€™s Moment of Reckoning Veteran war photographer and correspondent Paul Conroy died of natural causes a day after returning from Cuba with this report of another city under siege. He never stopped bearing witness

Really saddened to hear of the death of the legendary Paul Conroy at just 61 - one of the bravest, best and kindest of people and an astonishingly good photographer to boot.

Here is his last work for Byline Times.

Our friend Paul Conroy was more than an outstanding photojournalist, he was a brave, decent man who ran toward the truth when others ran from it.

Iโ€™m absolutely shocked by the news.

Rest easy, Gunner Conroy ๐Ÿ™

And, he could do worse than that. We need to get his short little vulgarian fingers away from "the button".

Absolutely gutted to hear about the passing of the excellent @reflextv.bsky.social Paul Conroy. He was an incredible reporter, a delightful human, a tough son of a gun, and will be deeply missed on all levels.

Field reporters are a different breed, the salt of the earth, and Paul was S tier

To everyone wondering why ships are holding up outside the Strait of #Hormuz right now, the reason is WAR RISK INSURANCE!

Right now, every major Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Club is notifying their clients of the need for additional protection (AP).

Let's review points brought out by the Group and others.

1. The GOP lead by Trump is violating the Constitution to install a Neo-fascist govt

2. He will violate the sanctity of Midterm US elections either through violence or coercion.

3. He will not leave the office of President in 2029.

Iranian VP takes over, Pezeshkian's status unknown | The Jerusalem Post The Iranian reports did not explicitly mention President Masoud Pezeshkian's ability to carry out his political duties.

Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref informed officials of plans to take charge of the country, according to a report by state media.

That suggests that President Masoud Pezeshkian was either badly injured or killed.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.

Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

Lost in all this noise - what an absolute failure on the part of the Iranian regime. EVERYONE knew that strikes were coming and they could not hide Khamenei? Iran is not a paper tiger. What's weaker than paper?
